Default fruit fly

good one jonno,

there is an effective male wick that will attract and kill males that
is the easy part, but trapping the females is another thing altogether
so that is the vexing problem when dealing with f/f, for us
controlling the males means less fertile females so less f/f damage,
and another part of our f/f control is good husbandry around the trees
ie.,. collecting and destroying all f/f damaged frut off-site.

so f/f control is a multi-part process.
